I have asked the question before and only got stupid answers i have tried googling it and doing a search on here for it, Someone told me that a Nissan patrol RB30 was a long motor? Someone else told me that an A6 motor was a short motor and an A8 was a long motor? Which was bull 5h!7 because I did an engine swap and they were the same length! other people have told me its a myth and there all the same size? looking through the parts manual there is no difference? So the head is longer? so if i measure the head gasket to rocker cover what are the measurements to determine if a have a long or short motor? or are you taking the piss? I can't get a definitive answer?

Bro short and long motor is just slang Short motor = just the block (with or without accessories) Long motor = block and the head together (usually does not include manifolds) Complete motor = block, head, accessories and bolt ons etc There is no difference in physical dimensions in any RB30 block and heads they are all the same

Far out this thread has done me head in lol
